Method
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, egg, melted butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The batter is smooth and free of visible lumps. Whisk until the flour is fully hydrated.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while you preheat a non‑stick skillet over medium heat.
Lightly grease the skillet with a small amount of butter, then pour a ladleful of batter, swirling the pan to create a thin, even crêpe.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The batter spreads into a thin, even round as the pan is swirled. Use a quick tilt to distribute the batter.
Cook the crêpe for 1–2 minutes, until the edges lift and the underside is lightly golden, then flip and cook the other side for another 30 seconds.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The edge lifts and the underside is lightly golden. Flip once the crêpe releases easily.
Transfer the cooked crêpe to a warm plate, cover loosely with foil, and repeat with the remaining batter to make a total of 8–10 crêpes.
Slice the blood oranges into thin rounds and set aside.
In a clean skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium‑high heat, add the orange slices, and sauté for 2–3 minutes until they begin to caramelize.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The orange rounds begin to turn glossy and browned at the edges. Keep them moving in the pan for even color.
Add the orange liqueur to the skillet, stirring constantly; allow the alcohol to reduce and the sauce to thicken, about 1–2 minutes.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The sauce looks thicker and coats the spoon. Stir continuously while it reduces.
Return the warm crêpes to the skillet, folding them gently into the orange sauce so they absorb the flavor.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp sugar over the top, allowing the butter to melt and create a glossy finish.
Serve the crêpes immediately, garnished with extra orange slices if desired.
